Canplats Announces Filing of Supplemental Circular in Connection
with the Goldcorp Transaction
=======================================================================
Canplats Resources Corporation (TSX-V: CPQ) ("Canplats" or the
"Company") announces that it has prepared a supplemental management
information circular (the "Supplemental Circular") in connection with
the amended transaction with Goldcorp Inc. ("Goldcorp"), as described
in the Company's press release dated December 29, 2009. The
Supplemental Circular and a new form of letter of transmittal (the
"Revised Letter of Transmittal") have been posted on the System for
Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval ("SEDAR") website at
www.sedar.com and the Company's website at www.canplats.com. The
Supplement Circular and Revised Letter of Transmittal are expected to
be mailed to securityholders on or about January 18, 2010.
As described in the Company's press release dated January 8, 2010, the
meeting of holders of Canplats common shares, options and warrants
called to consider the proposed business combination between Canplats
and Goldcorp has been adjourned to 2:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on
January 28, 2010 (the "Adjourned Meeting"). The Adjourned Meeting will
be held at the Pan Pacific Vancouver, Ocean View Room, located at 300
-- 999 Canada Place, Vancouver, British Columbia. The record date for
determination of the securityholders entitled to receive notice of, and
vote at, the Adjourned Meeting has been fixed as 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver
time) on December 14, 2009.
The Board of Directors of Canplats recommends that Canplats
securityholders vote in favour of the resolution approving the amended
transaction with Goldcorp at the Adjourned Meeting. The Supplemental
Circular sets out the reasons for such recommendation and also contains
other information concerning the amended transaction. Securityholders
are encouraged to read the Supplemental Circular carefully in its
entirety.
The deadline for the deposit of proxies for use at the Adjourned
Meeting of securityholders is 2:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on January 26,
2010. Voting instruction forms will have to be submitted earlier than
forms of proxy. Securityholders who have already properly completed and
deposited a proxy or submitted a voting instruction form do not have to
take any further action to vote their securities, unless they wish to
change their voting instructions. Securityholders who have completed
and deposited a form of proxy or submitted a voting instruction form
but wish to change their voting instructions should complete and
deposit a new proxy or submit a new voting instruction form reflecting
the change in voting instruction either by telephone or internet and
are encouraged to contact Kingsdale Shareholder Services Inc. (in North
America, by telephone (toll-free) at (888) 518-6812) for assistance in
doing so.
Registered holders of Canplats common shares should also be aware that,
regardless of whether they have completed and delivered a letter of
transmittal in the form previously mailed by Canplats, a Revised Letter
of Transmittal must be completed and signed and, together with the
corresponding share certificates, delivered to the depositary in order
to receive the cash consideration and shares of Camino Minerals
Corporation under the amended transaction with Goldcorp. If a
registered holder of Canplats common shares has submitted share
certificates to the depositary with the previously distributed form of
letter of transmittal, such share certificates will not be returned to
them (unless the transaction with Goldcorp is not completed); however,
such registered shareholders are still required to complete, sign and
deliver a Revised Letter of Transmittal.
